A lot is going on in the world of bankruptcy proofs of claim. New forms and attachments became official on December 1 and should be used in all bankruptcy matters. A rule change clarifying a point of law has been recommended for approval early next year and other rule changes that could have serious consequences for consumer lenders are being considered.
Meanwhile, court decisions hold that failing to file properly can result in sanctions as well as loss of your claim.
If you have any doubts about whether you have a good grasp on how and when to file proofs of claim, now would be the time to be sure you're doing it right!
During this program, attorney Eric North (see sidebar) will work with participants to explain just what you must, may and must not do when preparing and filing a proof of claim for unsecured, personal property secured, and real property secured claims. Participants will learn—
• | How to complete the new official Proof of Claim form. |
• | How to itemize principal, interest, late fees, attorneys fees, and any other amounts included in the claim. |
• | When to include "Attachment A," "Supplement 1" and "Supplement 2," how to complete them, and what happens if you don't do so correctly. |
• | What other attachments must be included with the proof of claim. |
• | How a debtor may object to your original claim or to fees or charges you add during the term of the bankruptcy case, and how to respond. |
• | What information you are prohibited from including with a proof of claim and what your financial institution should do if you make a mistake. |
• | What your duty is when a Chapter 13 provides your financial institution with a Notice of Final Cure Payment. |
• | Common errors creditors make and how to avoid or fix them. |
Attend this program to learn how to prevent a poorly prepared proof of claim from causing your financial institution to lose thousands of dollars in claims, penalties and attorneys fees!
